navara cultivation -- advice from Mr. M.C. Narayanan Kutty

Navara can be grown preferably as an upland crop. If you are planning to raise it in wet land conditions, please ensure that water is controlled. It can tolerate dry conditions. Wet sowing of germinated seeds or dry sowing is preferred as the crop has a duration of less than 90 days. If SRI system of transplanting is adopted give 25 cm between rows and plants. Here 7-8 day old seedlings can be planted. Organic manures like cow dung, compost etc can be used. Chemical feriliser application is not generally recommended.Prefer season with less rainfall. I think late august could be ideal in your place.

SRI, THE SYSTEM OF RICE INTENSIFICATION: LESS CAN BE MORE

SRI, THE SYSTEM OF RICE INTENSIFICATION: LESS CAN BE MORE Date: Monday, June 14 @ 10:00:45 EST Topic: Appropriate Technology By Dawn Berkelaar   We recently learned about a method of raising rice that produces substantially higher yields with the planting of far fewer seedlings and the use of fewer inputs than either traditional methods (i.e., water) or more "modern" methods (chemical fertilizer or agrochemicals).  It involves using different practices for plant, soil, water and nutrient management.  This system of rice intensification has been successfully used in a number of countries (although so far mostly in Madagascar).  What is SRI? SRI involves the use of certain management practices which together provide better growing conditions for rice plants, particularly in the root zone, than those for plants grown under traditional practices.  SRI was developed in Madagascar in the early 1980s by Father Henri de Laulaníe, a Jesuit priest who spent over 30 years in that country working with farmers.  In 1990, Association Tefy Saina (ATS) was formed as a Malagasy NGO to promote SRI.  Four years later, the Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture and Development (CIIFAD), began cooperating with Tefy Saina to introduce SRI around the Ranomafana National Park in eastern Madagascar, supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development.  It has since been tested in China, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh with positive results.    The results with SRI methods are remarkable (see Table 1).  In Madagascar, on some of the poorest soil to be found and where yields of 2 tons/hectare were the norm, farmers using SRI are now averaging over 8 tons/hectare, with some getting 10 to 15 tons/hectare.  A few farmers have even gotten over 20 tons/hectare.  In other parts of the country, over a five-year period, hundreds of farmers averaged 8 to 9 tons/hectare.   SRI methods have at least doubled the yields of any variety of rice that has been tried.  No external inputs are necessary for a farmer to benefit from SRI.  The methods should work with any seeds that are now being used.  However, you do need to have an open mind about new methods and a willingness to experiment.  With SRI, plants are treated as the living organisms that they are, rather than as machines to be manipulated.  The potential within plants is drawn out by giving them the best possible conditions for their growth.   At first, the practices that constitute SRI seem somewhat counterintuitive.  SRI challenges assumptions and practices that have been in place for hundreds, even thousands of years.  Most rice farmers plant fairly mature seedlings (20-30 days old), in clumps, fairly close together, with standing water maintained on the field for as much of the season as possible.  Why?  These practices seem to reduce the risk of crop failure.  It seems logical that more mature plants should survive better; that planting in clumps will ensure that some plants will survive transplanting; that planting more seedlings should result in more yield; and that planting in standing water means the plants will never lack water and weeds will have little opportunity to grow.    Despite this reasoning, farmers have not found that using SRI practices puts their crops at any more risk than do traditional methods.  Four "novel" practices in particular are key in SRI:   1. Seedlings are transplanted early.  Rice seedlings are transplanted when only the first two leaves have emerged from the initial tiller or stalk, usually when they are between 8 and 15 days old (see Figure 1).  Seedlings should be grown in a nursery in which the soil is kept moist but not flooded.  When transplanting seedlings, carefully remove them from the nursery bed with a trowel, and keep them moist.  Do not let them dry out.  The seed sac (the remains of the germinated seed) should be kept attached to the infant root, because it is an important energy source for the young seedling.  Seedlings should be transplanted as soon as possible after being removed from the nursery--within half an hour and preferably within 15 minutes.  When placing seedlings in the field, carefully lay the roots sideways in the soil with a horizontal motion, so that the root tip is not inadvertently left pointing upward (this happens when seedlings are plunged straight downward into the soil).  The root tip needs to be able to grow downward.  Careful transplanting of seedlings when they are very young reduces shock and increases the plants' ability to produce numerous tillers and roots during their vegetative growth stage.  Grains of rice are eventually produced on the panicles (i.e. the "ears" of grain above the stalk, produced by fertile tillers).  More tillers result in more panicles, and with SRI methods, more grains are produced on each panicle.       Figure 1: With SRI, seedlings are planted when they are 8 to 15 days old, when there are just two leaves. The plants at the top are 8 days old. With traditional methods, seedlings are planted when they are several weeks old. The seedlings shown at the bottom are 31 days old. Photos by Joshua Harber.   2.  Seedlings are planted singly rather than in clumps.  Seedlings are transplanted singly rather than in clumps of two or three or more.  This means that individual plants have room to spread and to send down roots.  They do not compete as much with other rice plants for space, for light, or for nutrients in the soil.  Root systems become altogether different when plants are set out singly, and when the next practice is followed:   3.  Wide spacing.  Rather than in tight rows, seedlings are planted in a square pattern with plenty of space between them in all directions.  Usually they are spaced at least 25 cm x 25 cm (see Figure 2).  Feel free to experiment with the spacing, because the optimum spacing (producing the highest number of fertile tillers per square meter) depends on soil structure, soil nutrients, temperature, moisture and other conditions.  The general rule is that plants should have plenty of room to grow.  If you also use the other practices mentioned here, seldom will the best spacing be closer than 20 cm x 20 cm.  The maximum yields have been obtained on good soil with 50 x 50 cm spacing, just four plants per square meter.  Figure 2: SRI seedlings (above) are very widely spaced compared with seedlings planted with traditional methods (below). These diagrams show seedlings at approximately one month of age, when seedlings are roughly the same size. However, SRI seedlings, having been transplanted several weeks earlier, by this time have already undergone transplant shock and may have begun to tiller. Sketches by Christi Sobel   To space the plants carefully (which makes weeding easier), you can place sticks at appropriate intervals (e.g. every 25 cm) along the edge of the field, then stretch strings between them.  The strings should be marked at the same intervals so that you can plant in a square pattern. Leaving wide spaces between each plant ensures that roots have adequate room to grow, and the plants will be exposed to more sunlight, air and nutrients.  The result is more root growth (and thus better nutrient uptake) and more tillering.  The square pattern also facilitates weeding (see number 6, below).    When farmers are more experienced, they can save time by just marking cross-hatched lines on the field surface with rakes or other devices.  Notice that SRI uses a much lower seeding rate than do traditional methods; one evaluation of SRI revealed that the rate of seed application was only 7 kg/ha, compared to the traditional seeding rate of 107 kg/ha!  Yet yields were doubled because each plant produced so much more grain.   4.  Moist but unflooded soil conditions.  Rice has traditionally been grown submerged in water.  Clearly rice is able to tolerate standing water.  However, standing water creates hypoxic soil conditions (lacking in oxygen) for the roots and hardly seems to be ideal!  Rice roots have been shown to degenerate under flooded conditions, losing ¾ of their roots by the time the plants reach the flowering stage.  This die-back of roots under flooded conditions has been called "senescence," implying that it is a natural process.  But it actually represents suffocation, which impedes plant functioning and growth.   With SRI, farmers use less than half of the water they would use if they kept their paddies constantly flooded.  Soil is kept moist but not saturated during the vegetative growth period, ensuring that more oxygen is available in the soil for the roots.  Occasionally (perhaps once a week) the soil should be allowed to dry to the point of cracking.  This will allow oxygen to enter the soil and will also induce the roots to grow and "search" for water.  After all, when the soil is flooded, roots have no need to grow and spread, and they lack enough oxygen to grow vigorously.    Unflooded conditions, combined with mechanical weeding, result in more air in the soil, and greater root growth means that the rest of the plant will have access to more nutrients.  When soil is saturated, air pockets (known as aerenchyma) form in the roots of submerged plants in order to transport oxygen.  These air pockets take up to 30-40% of the roots' cortex and probably impede the transport of nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. More water may be applied before weeding to make the process of weeding easier (see 5, below).  Otherwise, water is best applied in the evening (if there has been no rain during the day), and any water remaining on the surface is drained in the morning.  This leaves the field open to both air and warmth during the day; flooded fields will reflect a good part of the solar radiation reaching them, and absorb less of the warmth which helps plants grow.  With SRI, unflooded conditions are only maintained during the period of vegetative growth.  Later, after flowering, 1-3 centimeters of water are kept standing on the field, as is done with traditional practices.  The field is drained completely 25 days before harvesting.    In addition to these four principal practices, two other practices are extremely beneficial when using SRI.  These practices are not controversial and have long been recognized as valuable for crops.   5. Weeding.  This can be done by hand or with a simple mechanical tool (see Figure 3).  Farmers in Madagascar find it advantageous, both in terms of reducing labor and of increasing yield, to use a mechanical hand weeder developed by the International Rice Research Institute in the 1960s.  It has vertical rotating toothed wheels that churn up the soil as the weeder is pushed down and across the alleys formed by the square formation of planting.  Weeding is labor-intensive—it may take up to 25 days of labor to weed one hectare—but the increase in yield means that the work will more than pay for itself.  Figure 3: One example of a mechanical weeder with vertical rotating toothed wheels, often used with SRI. Plans are available at ECHO for this weeder and for a larger weeder with five wheels. Sketches of weeders by Paya deMarken, Peace Corps Volunteer in Madagascar.   The first weeding should be done ten to twelve days after transplanting, and the second weeding within fourteen days.  At least two or three weedings are recommended, but another one or two can significantly increase the yield, adding one to two tons per hectare.  Probably more important than removing weeds, this practice of churning the soil seems to improve soil structure and increase aeration of the soil.   Organic inputs.  SRI was developed initially with chemical fertilizers to increase yield on the very poor soils of Madagascar.  But when subsidies were removed in the later 1980s, recommendations switched to use of compost, and even better results were observed.  The compost can be made from any biomass (e.g. rice straw, plant trimmings and other plant material), with some animal manure added if available.  Banana leaves can add more potassium, cuttings from leguminous shrubs add more nitrogen, and other plants such as Tithonia and Afromomum angustifolium, may be high in phosphorous.  Compost adds nutrients to the soil slowly and can also contribute to a better soil structure.  It seems fairly intuitive that some form of nutrient input is necessary on poor soils if chemical fertilizer is not added.  With huge yields of rice being harvested, something needs to be returned to the soil!    Why does SRI work?   The concept of synergy appears to help explain why SRI works so well.  In this context, synergy means that practices used in SRI interact in positive, reinforcing ways so that the whole is more than the total of its parts.  Each of the management practices used in SRI makes a positive difference in the yield, but the real potential of SRI is seen only when the practices are used together.    When used together, SRI practices result in a rice plant structure that is different from what results when traditional practices are followed.  Rice plants under SRI have many more tillers, greater root development, and more grains per panicle.  In order to tiller, plants need to have enough root growth to support new growth above ground.  But roots require certain conditions of soil, water, nutrient, temperature and space for growth.  Roots also need energy from the photosynthesis that occurs in tillers and leaves above ground.  Thus the roots and shoots depend on each other.  In addition, when growing conditions are optimized, there is a positive relationship between the number of tillers per plant, the number of tillers that become fertile (panicles), and the number of grains per tiller.    SRI fields will look terrible for a month or more after transplanting, because the plants are so thin and small and widely spaced.  In the first month, the plant is preparing to tiller.  During the second month, serious tillering begins.  In the third month, the field seems to "explode" with rapid tiller growth.  To understand why, you need to understand the concept of phyllochrons, a concept that applies to members of the grass family, including cereals like rice, wheat and barley.    A phyllochron is not a thing.  It is the period of time between the emergence of one phytomer (a set of tiller, leaf and root which emerges from the base of the plant) and the emergence of the next (see Table 2).  The length of phyllochrons is determined particularly by temperature, but it is also affected by things like day length, humidity, soil quality, exposure to light and air, and nutrient availability.    If conditions are good, phyllochrons in rice are five to seven days long, though they may be shorter at higher temperatures.  Under very good conditions, the vegetative growth phase of a rice plant may last as long as 12 phyllochrons before the plant begins initiating panicles and starts its reproductive phase (see Table 2).  This is possible when the rate of biological growth is speeded up, so that many growth intervals are completed before panicle initiation.    Conversely, under poor conditions, phyllochrons last longer, and fewer of them will be completed before the flowering phase begins.  Here is the most important consideration:  only a few tillers are put out during the early phyllochrons (and none at all during the second and third phyllochrons), but during each successive phyllochron after the third one, each tiller already growing puts out a new tiller from its base (with a lag time of one phyllochron before this process starts) (see Table 2).  During the latter part of the vegetative growth period, with ideal growing conditions, the plant's production of tillers becomes exponential rather than additive.  (It corresponds to what is known as the Fibonacci series in biology.)  Instead of a "maximum period" of tiller production being reached some time before panicle initiation (PI), as happens with standard cultivation practices, with SRI both PI and the maximum production of tillers coincide.   This is why it is best to transplant seedlings during the second or third phyllochron, so as not to disrupt the rapid growth which begins in the fourth phyllochron.  Seedling roots are traumatized when they are exposed to the sun and dry out; when they are plunged into an airless environment; and when feeder roots, put out from the first root, are lost or damaged during late transplanting.  This trauma slows subsequent growth, and not as many phyllochrons are completed before PI.  Most current transplanting methods (and timing) set plant growth back by one or two weeks and also slow subsequent growth.  For maximum tillering, you want plants to complete as many phyllochrons as possible during their vegetative phase.  If seedlings are three or four weeks old when transplanted, the most important (late) phyllochrons when tiller growth is multiplied will never be reached.   Contrary to popular expectation, more tillering does not mean less panicle formation or grain filling.  With SRI, there is not a negative correlation between the number of tillers produced and the number of grains produced by each fertile tiller.  All yield components—tillering, panicle formation, and grain filling—can increase under favorable growing conditions. This sounds too good to be true.  What is the catch? SRI requires more labor per hectare than traditional methods of growing rice.  When farmers are not familiar and comfortable with transplanting tiny seedlings with fairly exact spacing and depth of planting, this operation can initially take twice as long.  But once farmers are comfortable and skilled with the technique, transplanting takes LESS time because there are so many fewer plants to put in.    With SRI, more time is spent applying water carefully than when fields are kept flooded all the time.  This means that fields should initially be constructed with appropriate irrigation systems that allow water to be "put on" and "taken off" the field at regular intervals.  Most rice fields are not set up like this (i.e. they were designed to hold the maximum amount of water), so some reconstruction of fields may be necessary before initiating SRI production systems.   Weeding takes more time if there is no standing water.  However, the yields may be increased several-fold due to the increased soil aeration which results from weeding with the rotary push-hoe.  The extra yield more than pays for the extra expense of weeding.   At first, SRI can take 50 to 100% more labor (and more skilled and exacting labor), but over time, this amount is reduced.  Experienced SRI farmers say it can even require less labor once techniques are mastered and confidence is gained.  Since yields can be two, three, and even four times more than with current practices, the returns to both labor and to land are much higher, justifying the greater investment of labor.    Some farmers are skeptical of SRI's benefits.  It seems almost like magic at first, though there are good scientific reasons to explain each part of the process.  These farmers should be encouraged to try the methods out in a small area, to satisfy themselves about the benefits and to start gaining the skills on a small scale.    Planting and weeding are initially the most labor-intensive part of SRI.  Many families are constrained by the amount of labor that is available, either within the household or for hire.  If someone does not have enough labor available to plant and tend all the rice fields using SRI, he or she can cultivate just part of the land with rice using SRI methods, getting higher returns for both labor and land.  Then other crops can be planted on the remainder of the land at times when labor is available. Is SRI sustainable?  How can you get such high yields? Scientists are not certain, and many are very skeptical, about how such high yields can be obtained on such poor soil as that found in Madagascar.  Fortunately, SRI methods have been found to produce much improved yields in other countries (China, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh), so we know that it is not a methodology with success limited to one country.   Little systematic evaluation has yet been done by plant or soil scientists.  However, here are a few proposed explanations for which there is some basis in scientific literature: 1) Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF).  Free-living bacteria and other microbes around the roots of rice may fix nitrogen for the plants.  The presence of such bacteria has been documented for sugar cane, which is in the grass family along with rice.  Where nitrogen fertilizer had not been applied (since this suppresses production of the enzyme nitrogenase required for BNF), microbial action fixed 150-200 kilograms of nitrogen per hectare for the cane.  However, less nitrogen fixing occurs where chemical fertilizers have previously been applied.  It is known that about 80% of the bacteria in and around rice roots have nitrogen-fixing capability, but this potential will not be realized where inorganic N has been applied, or possibly in anaerobic, water-logged soil. 2) Other research suggests that plants can grow very well with extremely low concentrations of nutrients, as long as those nutrients are supplied evenly and consistently over time.  We know that compost furnishes a low, steady supply of nutrients. 3) Plants with extensive root growth have better access to whatever nutrients exist in the soil.  Extensive root growth can result when the roots of young seedlings have lots of space and oxygen, and when water and nutrients are scarce enough that roots need to "go looking" for them.  Such extensive roots may be able to extract more balanced nutrients from the soil, including some scarce but necessary micronutrients.   Much more remains to be studied about and learned from SRI, but scientists are starting to take an interest in it as reports of superior yields increase.  SRI should be seen not as a technology to be applied mechanistically, but rather as a methodology to be tested and adapted to farmers' conditions.  Farmers need to be good observers and good learners to make the best use of the insights that SRI provides.   In summary, the main elements of SRI are as follows:  Transplant young seedlings to preserve their potential for tillering and root growth while they also benefit from other favorable growing conditions.  Provide the plants with wide spacing, without competition either in hills or between hills.  Keep the soil well aerated but sufficiently moist, so that the roots can "breathe"; for this, use both water management and weeding practices that aerate the soil.  Finally, provide nutrients that feed the soil as well as the plant, so that a rich and healthy soil gives plants the nutrients and positive environment needed for best growth and performance.    For More Information   Norman Uphoff, director.  Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture and Development (CIIFAD); Box 14 Kennedy Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca  NY 14853  USA (Tel: 01-607-255-0831; Fax: 01-607-225-1005; e-mail: NTU1@cornell.edu).   Sebastien Rafaralahy, President, and Justin Rabenandrasana, Secretary.  Association Tefy Saina; B.P. 1221, Antananarivo, Madagascar.  (Tel: 01-261-222-0301; e-mail:  tefysaina@simicro.mg).  If you can communicate in French, please do so; Tefy Saina can read and write English fairly well, but communication is easier en français.   Special thanks to Norman Uphoff for helpful comments on the manuscript, and to Association Tefy Saina for editing.  Thanks to Glenn Lines for editing and for sending us diagrams of the mechanical weeders.         This article appeared in EDN # 70 January 2001 This article comes from ECHOs Technical Network Site http://www.echotech.org/network The URL for this story is: http://www.echotech.org/network/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=461

Excertpts from Agroforestry - a viable alternative for social, economic and ecological sustainability

1. Nursery practices: Several important practices like standard size of seedbed (010m X1m), proportion of sand, soil and farmyard manure for seed bed preparation (1:1:1), depth of seed sowing (medium depth), height of the seed bed for producing seedlings in poly bags (30 cm), age of seedlings for transplanting, time of seed sowing, periodicity of watering the seed bed, chemical used to break dormancy, fertilizer application and weeding the seed bed are better adopted by farmers. Reasons for poor adoption of practices like inoculation with biofertilizers, seed treatment and recommended quantity of fertilizer application is due to lack of complete knowledge and cost involved and their non-availability.
2. Pre-planting practices: Practices like required size of pit of planting, proportion of soil and farm yard manure to fill the pit were adopted by majority of the farmers since all these practices are simple and were guided by field functionaries while they fail to adopt recommended number of seedlings per unit area (not more then 5% of the total area) in the farmland due to lack of knowledge on recommended spacing.
3. Planting Practices: Majority of the farmers have adopted important technologies like planting of seedlings, water dripping near beds after planting, root trimming for better establishment of seedlings, fertilizer application and control of pests/diseases. The reason must be that all these practices are simple, easy to practice and most of the activities were carried out under the supervision of the extension personnel. Some of the complex technologies like dosage of recommended fertilizer application, dosage of chemicals to be used for pest and disease management and removing bottom leaves while planting were not adopted due to lack of knowledge and also field personnel failed to provide right guidance. Pit method of planting was followed by majority of farmers as it was found good for better establishment of seedlings. Pot irrigation was practiced after planting. Among different water harvesting techniques adopted for irrigation, `V' notch method was practiced by majority of farmers as this method is a most efficient in water harvesting and save water without any loss.
4. The findings revealed that majority of farmers adopted agriculture cum silviculture cum horticulture system of agroforestry. (Fig. 5)The Karnataka farmers incorporated forest trees such as Tectona grandis, Acacia nilotica, Grevillea robusta, Eucalyptus hybrid, Acacial auriculiformis, Azadirachta indica, Melia dubia, Cassia siamea, Pngamila pinnata, Causuarina equisetifolia, Denrocalamus strictus, Dalbergia catefolia, Pterocarpus marsupune , Albizia lebbek and fodder green manure crops like Sesbania grandiflora, Erythrina indica, Glyricidia maculata, Leucaena leuococephala, Ceiba pentandra and fruit crops like Mangifera indica, Anacardium oxidentale, Zoziphus marutiana, Tamarindus indica and Emlica officinalis. As the nearby forests are declared as reserve forests, farmers started facing acute timber and fuel problems. Therefore majority of the farmers adopted the tree species mainly with a reason to meet their fuel and poles logs demand. Also, majority of the farmers were deprived of irrigation facilities, they opted mixed plantation thinking that such ventures will bring more returns. The agroforestry are unique in Kerala because they are always around the farmers house and hence it is often called as homestead agroforestry. The major crops associated with in the homestead agroforestry system in Kerala are coconut (100%), Banana (99%) vegetables (98%) , Mango (95%), Papaya (90%) Tulasi (85%), Pepper (83%), Glyricidia (83%), Arecanut (79%), Jack (76%), Tamarind (75%), etc. Coconut (Cocos nucifera) with synonym `Kalpavriksha', the tree of heaven is the most dominant plantation crop prevalent in homestead of Kerala. It is popularly known as a benevolent provider of all basic needs. In addition to coconut, perennial plants such as arecanut, mango, jack, pepper, (trailed on any of the trees), tamarind and annuals like banana, solanaceous vegetables, bhendi, amaranthus, tapioca, colocasia, dioscorea, amorphophalllus, ginger, turmeric etc, are grown. All these crops are grown mixed in the coconut garden without any specific row arrangement. Farmers have taken every effort to utilize the both in horizontal and vertical dimensions. Thus, these homesteads consists of multitude of crops representing a multi-tier canopy configuration which ensures a high level of exploitation of environmental resources. The canopy architecture and pattern of component interaction ensure better energy harvesting and soil exploitation. Homesteads of Kerala, who have sacred grooves are integral part of life, culture and folklore traditions of culture. Some kind of divinity is attached to these mini genetic pool, which directly promote the conservation and sustainable utilization of these natural eco-systems. The study also revealed that the range of crop species is low in case of farmers with less area and the range increases with an increase in area. The tendency of agroforestry farmer to incorporate various species in his farm increased as the area increased so as to ensure high level of exploration of environmental resources.
   
5. Economics of agroforestry
   It is found that farmers were earning at an average of $ 800 or Rs. 31466.20 / every year from one acre of agroforestry plot which is much profitable than any traditional crop. The farmers were also able to save surplus money in the bank, which is a healthy sign of economic sustainability.

An Agricultural Testament by Sir Albert Howard

Although some concepts of organic farming predated his work, today Sir Albert Howard (1873-1947) is regarded by most as the founder and pioneer of the organic movement. Born into an agricultural life, he never strayed far from it. Raised on a farm in England, and educated at Cambridge, he served for a time (1899 -1902) as mycologist in the Imperial Department of Agriculture for the West Indies, before returning to England to teach agricultural science from 1903-1905 at South-Eastern Agricultural College at Wye. He then moved to India where, for twenty-six years he directed several agricultural research centers before permanently returning to England in 1931.

It was after his return that he became well known for his concepts and philosophy of organic farming. Drawing on his many years of agricultural research experience, he wrote several widely read books espousing his concepts and theories of composting, soil fertility, and health and disease.

In 1943, Howard published the book, An Agricultural Testament, in which he described a concept that was to become central to organic farming--the importance of utilizing available waste materials to build and maintain soil fertility and humus content.8 According to what he called "the Law of Return," he strongly advocated the recycling of all organic waste materials, including sewage sludge, back to farmland.

In Farming and Gardening for Health or Disease (later published as Soil and Health), Howard introduced the idea that disease, whether in plants, animals or humans, was caused by unhealthy soil and that organic farming techniques would make the soil and those living on it, healthy.12 As evidence he cited his observations that animals fed with crops grown in humus-rich soil were able to rub noses with diseased animals without becoming infected. More generally he argued that crop and animal health was a birthright and that the correct method for dealing with a pathogen was not to destroy the pathogen but rather to try to learn from it or to "make use of it for tuning up agricultural practice."

Clearly Howard favored the study of whole systems over reductionism. Such a study comparing organic and non-organic farms was attempted from 1939 to 1969 in England by Lady Eve Balfour. Her observations from this comparison of whole farms were described in her widely read book The Living Soil and The Haughley Experiment first published in 1943 and republished in 1974.

After sowing the seeds, mulch with green leaves and irrigate with a rose-can daily in the morning. Remove the mulch immediately after germination of the seeds. Restrict irrigation one week before transplanting and irrigate heavily on the previous day of transplanting. Time of planting Transplant the seedlings during October-November for an irrigated crop. Land preparation and transplanting Land is prepared to a fine tilth by thorough ploughing or digging. Well rotten organic manure is incorporated in the soil and seedlings are transplanted in shallow trenches / pits / levelled lands. Transplanted seedlings may be given temporary shade for three to four days during hot days. Spacing Transplant the seedlings at 60 x 60 cm. Stake the plants if necessary

Earthen pot offers a bounty of benefits for Kanyakumari ryots

M.J. PRABU

The timing is very important for spraying this formulation

Easy practice: Women farmers being trained to manufacture the mud pot nutrient in Kanyakumari district, Tamil Nadu.

The farmers of Kozhikodupothai in Kanyakumari district, Tamil Nadu, have a traditional knowledge base regarding bio-pest repellent formations and also plant growth promotion formulations.

One such traditional formulation called Manpannai sedi thailam in Tamil (Mud pot formulation) combines the effects of both fostering nutritional growth as well as being a pest repellent.

Field experiments

Initially the formulation was experimented with in a small area owned by a rose cultivator Ms. S. Thangam, and was found to completely obviate the need for chemical fertilizers. In addition, Panchagavya was also used for her rose plants.

"The mud pot formulation on my rose plants had a good effect on the size, yield and growth of flowers. In fact all the flowers had a deep colour and a longer shelf life. The flowers after plucking remained fresh for 2-3 days when kept at room temperature," said Ms. Thangam.

Natural farming

In fact she was featured in a video at London for the Ashden Award presentations that showcased Vivekananda Kendra-Natural Resources Development Project (VK-Nardep)'s efforts at increasing food production through natural farming practices.

Ms. Thangam's adoption of this innovation encouraged other farmers to try it. Though initially reluctant to stop using chemical fertilizers, they experimented on a small scale first.

The economic benefits that each farmer incurred created a cascading effect. For example, two years ago, Ms. Thangam was spending about Rs.3,500 for an acre of rose cultivation. At present her expenditure for an acre has come down to Rs. 1,300.

Decreasing expense

"Using this mud pot formulation and following organic practices has greatly decreased the expenditure I was regularly incurring when using chemical fertilizers," she said.

Who was responsible for developing this mud pot plant nutrient?

Mr. Aravindan, social scientist, of the kendra said, "an eminent organic farmer and retired agricultural officer, S. Murugan, is responsible for developing this formulation. He had developed a local plant formulation method with a traditional technique practised in Madya Pradesh."

"Once this formulation was tested successfully in Ms. Thangam's rose field, we decided to give training to more farmers in making this formulation, which has almost been forgotten."

According to Mr. Aravindan, about 100 gms of Vitex, Neem and Calotropis leaves each, 50 gm of powdered pulses (any pulse), one litre of curd or thick butter milk, and 1.5 litres of water are the basic items required for making this formulation.

The leaves are first ground into a fine paste. The paste is then mixed with the powdered pulses (any pulse).

This mixture is then added to one litre of curd. To this is added 1.5 litres of water. The mixture is kept in a mud pot and the mouth covered with a cloth.

The mixture is stirred every day in a clockwise and anticlockwise direction. After 15-20 days the formulation is ready for use. The formulation is diluted in 20 litres of water and sprayed in one acre of crop. The spraying is done on the foliage. The timing is very important for spraying this formulation. The best time is just before dawn and after dusk.

Effective control

The spraying effectively controls several pests and serves as a growth promoter and nutrition provider for the plants.

"Organic inputs have multiple advantages. Apart from reducing input costs, they also keep the environment safe from toxicity.

If one compares a field where chemical fertilizers have been used to grow the crops and a field where organic inputs such as farmyard manure, vermicompost and panchagavya have been used, one can clearly see the presence of earthworms, millipedes and ants is more in an organic field," Mr. Aravindan explained.

Useful organisms

"Our kendra conducted studies for the presence of earthworms and ants in different fields. We found that chemical inputs greatly disturbed the presence of these useful organisms and in several fields where chemical fertilizers were used these organisms were totally absent.

"Once some of the farmers started switching over to organic practices, we were able to observe the presence of these organisms again in the soil," he said.

Power fence firm moves court

BANGALORE: A firm, which was engaged by the Forest Department to put up fences in the Hunsur Forest Range to prevent wild animals from crossing over to villages surrounding the forests, has petitioned the Karnataka High Court against an order of the Forest Department asking it to pay damages for fences destroyed by wild animals.

The firm, IBEX Gallagher, said it was involved in the business of manufacturing, marketing and maintaining power fencing. It said it was installing solar fencing. IBEX said it had installed fences around Parliament House, Cabinet Secretariat building, UAE Embassy, HAL, Ship Building Centre at Visakhapatnam, Bandipur forest, and Central prison at Parappana Agrahara. It said the Forest Department on October 30 called for tenders to put up power fences in Hunsur forest range covering 84 km of forests.

It said the department had accepted its bid.

The firm said it had made it clear to the Forest Department that it could not guarantee normal wear and tear of the equipment.

It said the department claimed that more than 30 km of the 84-km fence was destroyed by wild animals and elephants. The department asked the company to pay damages of Rs. 37 lakh and sent a notice to the firm.

The firm urged the court to stay the notice.

Justice L. Narayanaswamy asked the State to file its objections within a week and adjourned hearing on the case.

Interview with Mr. M.S.Vagh, MD, Hunsur Plywoods

Melia is extensively used in plywood industry and is a recommended
species. It is a naturally fast growing species. In Kerala it grows
too fast because of high rainfall - Melia wood from Tamil Nadu and
Karnataka is preferred.
He suggested a pit size of 2' x 2' x 2' with 20' by 20' spacing giving
a plant density of about 109 trees to an acre.
Irrigation and fertilizer use only for the first 2 years if at all and
thereafter no irrigation or fertilizing as otherwise the tree would
grow too fast.
The larger pit size would naturally allow more rainwater to reach the
plant. According to him the tree is to be ideally harvested for
plywood core veneer purposes in the 12th year.
The average tree would have a 24' bole with 3'-3.5' girth. Each tree
would yield about 15 cft of wood. Presently the wood is bought by them
at Rs. 225 to Rs. 250 per cft. Trees for facing veneer need to be
about 30 years old and these would be procured at Rs. 500 to Rs. 600
per cft. The process for obtaining core veneer is through peeling and
even smaller logs can be peeled. For facing veneer the process is more
akin to splitting and you need larger sized logs.
He suggested planting 85% Melia with 15% higher value timber trees
like mahogany.
Promised to send a note and also was kind enough to invite Sara for
further discussion.

Bark smooth, greenish-brown when young, turning grey and fissured with age. Leaves alternate, 20-40 cm long, bipinnate or occasionally tripinnate. Leaflets 3-11, serrate and with a pungent odour when crushed. Inflorescence a long, axillary panicle up to 20 cm long; flowers showy, fragrant, numerous on slender stalks, white to lilac; sepals 5-lobed, 1 cm long; petals 5-lobed, 0.9 cm long, pubescent; staminal tube deep purple blue, 0.5 cm long, 1 cm across. Fruit a small, yellow drupe, nearly round, about 15 mm in diameter, smooth and becoming a little shrivelled, slightly fleshy. Seed oblongoid, 3.5 mm x 1.6 mm, smooth, brown and surrounded by pulp. Because of the divided leaves, the generic name is derived from the Greek 'melia' (the ash); the specific name comes from the Persian 'azzadirackt' (noble tree). Ecology and distribution History of cultivation This tree, well known as Persian lilac, is native to India but is now grown in all the warmer parts of the world; in many of these places it is naturalized. It is widely planted in Nigeria, for example. Natural Habitat A tree of the subtropical climatic zone, the natural habitat of M. azedarach is seasonal forest, including bamboo thickets, Tamarindus woodland. It is highly adaptable and tolerates a wide range of conditions; for example, the most frost-tolerant cultivars can be planted outdoors in sheltered areas in the British Isles. Geographic distribution Native : Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam Exotic : Afghanistan, Albania, Argentina, Australia, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, China, Croatia, Cuba, Djibouti, Dominican Republic, Eritrea, Ethiopia, France, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Jamaica, Kenya, Korea, Republic of, Lesotho, Malta, Mexico, Mozambique, Namibia, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Philippines, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Africa, Spain, Swaziland, Syrian Arab Republic, Tanzania, Tonga, Turkey, Uganda, United Kingdom, United States of America, Zanzibar Biophysical limits Altitude: 0-1800 m, Mean annual temperature: 23-27 deg. C, Mean annual rainfall: 350-2000 mm Soil type: Deep, fertile, sandy loam soils support the best growth. Reproductive Biology It flowers from March to May in the northern hemisphere, although some forms flower throughout the summer and even throughout the year. Propagation and management Propagation methods Fruit drop is limited, and ripe fruit clings to the branches for several months even after the leaves have fallen. Propagation is by direct sowing or by planting out seedlings or stumps; 85% germination may be expected in 2 months. Tree Management Under optimal conditions, M. azedarach grows fast. It is generally deciduous, but some forms in the humid tropics (e.g. in Malaysia and Tonga) are evergreen. Does not coppice well from large stumps, but excellent coppice is obtained from trees up to a girth of 0.9 m. The tree resprouts after cutting and regrows after pollarding, making it suitable for pole production. Germplasm Management Seed storage behaviour is orthodox. Viability is maintained for 1-3 years in hermetic storage at room temperature with 11-15 % mc. There are 470-2800 seeds/kg. Functional uses Products Fodder: Leaves are lopped for fodder and are highly nutritious. Fuel: Fuelwood is a major use of M. azedarach. It has a calorific value is 5100 kcal/kg. Timber: M. azedarach wood (the 'white cedar' of commerce), which resembles mahogany, is used to manufacture agricultural implements, furniture, plywood, boxes, poles, tool handles; it is used in cabinet making and in construction because of its resistance to termites. The density is 510-660 kg/cubic m. Lipids: Oil suitable for illumination has been extracted experimentally from berries. Poison: Aqueous and alcoholic extracts of leaves and seed reportedly control many insect, mite and nematode pests. However, because they contain toxic components, care is needed in their use. The fruit of M. azedarach is highly toxic to warm-blooded animals; the consumption of 6-8 fruit can cause nausea, spasms, and in children, even death. Medicine: M. azedarach is well known for its medicinal uses. Its various parts have antihelmintic, antimalarial, cathartic, emetic and emmenagogic properties and are also used to treat skin diseases. Dried ripe fruit is used as an external parasiticide; some toxic components are found in the seed oil, the oral intake of which may cause severe reactions and even death. Other products: Fruit stones make ideal beads and are used in making necklaces and rosaries. Services Shade or shelter: Widely planted as a shade tree in coffee and abaca (Musa textilis) plantations. Ornamental: A well-known ornamental grown, for example, as an avenue tree, for its scented flowers and shady, spreading crown. Intercropping: M. azedarach is a useful species for growing with crops such as wheat. It has been successfully planted with sugarcane. Pests and diseases The trees are attacked by fungi that cause brownish butt rot and brownish pocket rot. Certain larvae defoliate the tree and mine the leaves. Bibliography Albrecht J. ed. 1993.
